Nasal, teething swabs recalled for fungal contamination that may cause life-threatening infection

(CNN) - Nasal and teething swabs have been recalled because they might be contaminated with fungi.

Church and Dwight announced it is voluntarily recalling its Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam Nasal All Clear Swabs and Orajel Baby Teething Swabs because the swabs may be contaminated with a fungus.

If used, people could suffer a serious and life-threatening blood infection.

Children and people with compromised immune systems or underlying medical conditions are most at risk.

The company says so far, no one has reported becoming ill.

Anyone with the nasal or teething swabs should either throw them out or go to the store where they bought them to get a refund.
